Ancestors' Sylvan Shade
Ancestors' Sylvan Shade
Wait a while
And behold....
His unwelcome interference
In the Divine's holy Fair!
The lovely vernal woods decaying
Devastations in Nature's each glory,
So before, life sprouting with splendors
And lasting breaths
Pining for love in her lap!
Why does that affinity and affection,
Faith too fades away into dreary darkness
Man and machine clinging together
Clouds no more clapping overhead
Boatman bewails,
Eve's offspring chocked and tranquilized
Still mortgaging happiness
With scorching sunshine
Adding dry leaves,
Preparing own funeral pyre!
Who will stop him,
To renew the philosophy
To fountain the same faith of the mermaid
On the blue Mediterranean beach
The hopping rabbit
While racing with the yellow butterflies
In the grove,
The little canary nested and cradled
And the sweet southern breeze
Lulling the tired eyelids of the peasants
Just beneath his Ancestors'
Cosy Sylvan Shade!
Oh man!
Not mere longing, learn to survive
Enamel the deep greenery all around
With dots of layered rainbows
Sparkling in the vast sky,
Never tinted even in the distant horizon
With crimson smiley looks on every petal
Blooming and fragrancing the entire
With hopes for a heaven
'On this Beautiful Earth.'
